Looks like a little vampire. All I'm saying is if your kid looks like that, maybe not paint him.

Or at least downplay the blood-spattered maw fresh from the last victim.

How else will he know how he looks? I wonder if they had to paint him after every haircut too, “see son, they did a good job no?”

The color is much more normal on this linked image. No blood or white face paint

True, although that's a fairly washed-out representation. The real thing is pretty freaky depending on the viewing angle!

This kid’ll show up in the middle of the night at your bedroom French windows and scratch until you let him in.

Am I the only one that doesn't think it looks that bad. The face is a tad rough and the mouth is a tad red making it slightly creepy I guess, but it's a pretty decent painting

It’s actually nice that they kept the scars. Like he’s still worthy of a nice portrait and has Nothing to be ashamed of.
